What a commercial floor coating is

A commercial floor coating is a resin system bonded into the concrete slab your unit already stands on. It is built up in layers: a primer that fuses into the ground concrete, a pigmented base coat, the finish you choose, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat that takes the traffic. What you end up with is one continuous floor with no grout lines, no seams and no edges anywhere in it.

We install it for the shops and small commercial units that make up most of Lombard's storefront space: retail units, salons, cafes, service counters, and the stockrooms and back rooms behind them. It is the same system whether the floor is seen by every customer or by nobody. Only the finish changes.

The finished floor is hard, sealed and either smooth or lightly textured, depending on the finish. It takes cart wheels, wet umbrellas, winter grit and a nightly mop without marking, and it looks the same from the front door to the back wall. Shop and unit floors we have finished are on our gallery.

Why a coated floor beats tile, vinyl and carpet in a shop

Tile grout darkens along every traffic line and has to be scrubbed back to color. Vinyl lifts at the seams and the door, and it needs stripping and re-polishing to keep any shine. Carpet tiles in a shop stain within a season. A coated floor has none of those weak points, because it has no joints, no seams and no pile.

It also goes onto the slab you already have. Once the concrete is ground and repaired the coating bonds straight into it, so there is nothing to rip out, no subfloor to build and no waste to haul away. For a small unit that is usually the least disruptive way to get a new floor, with fast turnaround and minimal downtime for the business.

And the floor is chosen for how the unit trades. A flake finish where the public walks and the grit comes in, a plain solid color in the stockroom, a metallic pour where the floor is part of the fit-out, or the concrete itself ground and sealed for a plainer look. All four come from the same crew on the same slab.

What the floor does for a business trading on it

Quick to clean, every single night. The floor is seamless and non-porous, so there is nowhere for dirt, water or spilled product to settle. Closing-up cleaning is a sweep and a mop, or one pass with a machine. There is no grout brush and no waxing.

Hard-wearing at the door. The first few feet inside a shop take the worst of the year: salt, grit and water walked in off the sidewalk all winter. An industrial-grade epoxy and polyaspartic floor resists that abrasion, along with road salt, cleaning chemicals and hot tire pick-up where a vehicle comes inside. Impact that would chip bare concrete leaves a coated floor as it was.

Good to look at for years. The topcoat is UV-stable, so the color does not yellow under storefront glass, and a flake floor hides the marks of a busy day between cleans. With the concrete prepared properly you can look at the same floor in 15 to 20 years and still have a floor you are happy to trade on, and a flake floor can be refreshed with a new topcoat rather than replaced.

Four finishes for Lombard storefronts and units

Epoxy flake. Colored flakes go into the pigmented base coat and are sealed under the clear topcoat. It is the usual choice where the public walks: the orange-peel texture gives grip when the floor is wet, the blend hides everyday marking between cleans, and the range of color blends means it can suit a brand or sit quietly under the fixtures.

Solid color epoxy. One uniform color across the floor under a clear topcoat. It is the plain, clean floor for a stockroom, a prep area or a back corridor: it shows what has been dropped on it, wipes clean, and in a light tone it brightens a back room with no windows.

Metallic epoxy. A self-leveling resin mixed with metallic mica pigments and worked by hand, so the color moves in depth with the look of marble, stone or liquid metal. It has a high-gloss reflective finish that suits a space lit artificially, which makes it the floor for a boutique, a salon or a showroom where the floor is part of how the shop presents.

Grind and seal. The one option that is not a coating. The slab is ground back to clean concrete and sealed with a clear sealer, so the floor is the building's own concrete, dust-free and mop-clean, with the look of polished concrete at a lower price. It suits a unit going for a plain industrial look, and it adds no height at the storefront threshold.

Preparing the slab under a shop floor

Every floor starts with mechanical grinding. Diamond grinders take off tile adhesive, carpet glue, old vinyl, paint, sealers and the residue of every tenant before you, and they open the pores of the concrete so the primer can bond into it. Grinding is what decides whether the floor lasts, so we do it on every job, however small the unit.

Cracks, holes, spalls and the holes left by old fixtures are opened out, cleaned and filled flush before any coat goes on, so they do not show through the finished floor. Control joints are treated so the floor runs clean across them.

Where a removed wall or an old storefront line has left a step, it is ground and filled to one level so the floor runs through without a lip. Edges are finished cleanly at the door, under counters and where the floor meets another finish, and a sealed cove at the wall is an option we talk through for a wet room or a prep area.

How the coating goes down

We roll a primer that fuses into the ground concrete. It is the bond that stops a coating from ever peeling, and it is the step that cannot be skipped. Once it has cured, the pigmented base coat goes on across the whole floor.

Then the finish. For a flake floor the flakes are broadcast into the wet base coat until it is fully covered, and the excess is scraped back once it has cured to give the even texture. For a metallic floor the tinted resin is poured and worked by hand. For solid color a second coat of color follows the first. For grind and seal there is no coating stage: the clean concrete takes the clear sealer instead.

Every coated floor is sealed with the clear polyaspartic topcoat. It is the layer that takes the carts, the grit, the chemicals and the nightly clean, and it keeps the color true and the surface glossy for the life of the floor.

Shop and unit floors around Lombard

Most of the commercial space in Lombard is storefront retail and small units along the main corridors, with business-park and warehouse space beyond them. A coated floor suits both, and it suits the unit that is a bit of each: a shop at the front with a stockroom behind, one slab under both, and a finish chosen for each. We coat retail units, salons, cafes, clinics, showrooms and service counters across Lombard and the neighboring DuPage suburbs.

We work from our shop in Roselle with our own installers rather than subcontracted labor, and we are licensed and insured. The person who comes out to look at your floor is one of the people who will install it.
